Of course, I do not believe in astral travel but I can see how people into kush and mushrooms might take flight. I believe the soul leaves the physical body when people die....FOR GOOD.

Calm down bro. You already know I don't believe anything POTUS OJ claims. I doubt that regular contributors and lurkers here believe him either. As James Brown sang, he's talking loud and saying nothing.

Too much crime there. Of course Canada does not want to become a part of the US. Sovereignty has its privileges. They still get US protection. POTUS OJ wants to add a major accomplishment to his legacy. It's not going to happen. Everyone has an expiration date. He isn't teflon enough to get around the other side of the dash 1946 - ?. Just a matter of time.

Gotcha. Daily challenges remain works in process like the social services department.

Sure. He doesn't have the pedigree of those leaders. But, many white folks especially would be perfectly fine if he could roll America back a couple hundred years. They don't believe they'll *lose* anything.

I'd imagine this Black female pastor is representing the family as a spokesperson and not a lawyer. This is not a Ben Crump case. Not sure of what you're referring to in terms of next challenges. Still working through the existing.

Do not be surprised if the incoming POTUS-elect pulls more people to the right with his agenda. He admires leaders like Putin, Jinping and Erdogan (Turkey). The US could be heading back to the 1980s in that regard.

Stay focused and lighten up bro. I call them dictators half-jokingly. Agreed. I think a benevolent dictatorship is functional especially when the populace accepts it. That's why I mentioned ethnic differences not keeping the populace from seeing themselves as one people. In other words, the marginalized of those ethnic groups do not appear to be joining forces and looking to overthrow their benevolent dictators, er, elected leaders.

Absolutely. Strategic alliances should only be built on shared interests. If it's not a constructive endeavor, it's a waste of time. Definitely. It doesn't cost anything to wave or head nod or give a pound. There's nothing wrong with having a constructive conversation or mixing it up between the sheets with non-FBA folks. However, whenever it comes to standing on business, leave the toys at the playground.

Black folks have to pool several billion dollars before trying to get into the investment game on that level.

Low hanging fruit allegedly. I'm not suggesting either one of those dudes is guilty of anything. Not without receipts. It wasn't. They probably had sausage, hot dogs, yams, cucumbers, zucchini, squash, eggplant and beef steak on the menu too.

Not heroin though. That sh8t will have a person on stuck for 40 minutes or longer. Straight stupor. I've seen junkies in serious nod and lean who looked like they were inches from falling to the ground. The only thing they remember upon coming down is that it's time to cop another hit. I'd imagine kush and mushrooms are better than heroin when it comes to astral travel.

Of course, the resident agnostic and skeptic (UAP/UFO/ET) doesn't believe too much of anything without evidence and/or receipts. I'm creating topics and posting information to keep up the forum dialog.

No doubt. Plenty of them are intelligent and articulate. Around the same time, whenever they stuck a microphone in Magic Johnson's face, I would cringe. There's a reason many successful athletes and entertainers weren't allowed to do interviews.

Agreed. Control is a form of power. Criminals agreed to become state property if they got caught. Suicide isn't rooted in reality, rationale or logic but it's not always a mental illness either. Women have so many options. She may have upgraded to a better dude.

Warp drive traveling light-years is probably some form of wormhole manipulation. ET spacecraft would have to be a higher standard than anything we can imagine in order to withstand physics as we know it. Man still cannot fly without aircraft. ETs and any intelligence or technology they might have is still fiction.

Amid Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's resignation, incoming POTUS mused that considering the protection Canada receives from the US, maybe it should become the 51st state. Greenland is a strategic territory of national security interest. The incoming POTUS' son is going up there to determine if they should buy the island. In the same press conference from the Winter White House, Mar-A-Lago, POTUS also mentioned changing the name of Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America. Again, in my lifetime, I cannot recall another incoming POTUS having press conferences prior to inauguration. I don't know where the US government is heading but it seems the current administration is perfectly fine with it.

Sure. FBAs shouldn't lump everyone of other ethnicities as enemies. I don't believe we should consider them friends or allies either. We should remain neutral until loyalty is demonstrated and proven.

Incoming POTUS just announced a $20 billion dollar partnership with United Arab Emirates company DAMAC Properties to build data centers around the US. In what could be seen as a conflict of interests, DAMAC Properties has been doing business with incoming POTUS for many years. This company did the master-planned residential golf community around Trump International Golf Club in Dubai. The company also invested up to $5 million in POTUS OJ's campaign in 2016. Also, Japanese company SoftBank Group will be investing $100 billion in technology and telecommunications projects over the next 4 years. Politics isn't about red and blue. The color is green. Watch their hands. Follow the money.

You're correct on all accounts. I know Xi Jinping is elected. Same goes for Vladimir Putin. I still call them dictator/strong-men because of how they maintain power. On the negative side, these men will literally any type of opposition killed. On the positive side, these men do take care of their country. Your statement I bolded above is the point I was making about why these countries are 1) content with their leadership and 2) accept the status quo without needing to redistribute wealth. Right. The strong-man controls the oligarchs which funnels down like a pyramid. I comprehend your point. There is no need to redistribute wealth as long as the basic needs of the populace are met. The UBI is a step in that direction. You're right. Effective leadership is the key to insuring the basic needs of a populace are met. The US is built on a system that prevents it from taking care of every citizen in the same way that other countries do. The main thing is that in countries like China and Russia, despite differences in ethnicity or class, the populace sees themselves as one people i.e. homogenous.

The truck bomber left behind a note that included his actions were a wake-up call to Chinese drones being a threat to national security. The guy asked that his identity not be revealed until a certain date. His ex-girlfriend claims that he while he mentioned having issues related to his deployments, he was a kind, generous and fun-loving guy. Didn't see him taking this road.

Right. The United Nations, G20 and G8 exist to prevent world war and maintain those arrangements. One billion Chinese people aren't rushing to overthrow their dictator either. My point is despite having different ethnic groups within the country, the population seems to be content with their strong-man and no desire to change distribution of wealth.

You're correct. Canada does share a history of enslavement with the British empire. I should have written that Canada's legacy of slavery is different from the United States.

Sure. To date, the airline industry hasn't laid off it's pilots in favor of the robot. Used planes aren't flying off the lots any faster than cars, trucks and RVs. Imagine is the key word. There's no shortage of books and movies with warp drive crafts traveling among the stars. There's no shortage of old and aftermarket parts available for all kinds of vehicles. I'm fairly certain what people will be seeing is more gravitic propulsion system drones. Military stuff. Sure. Human crafts fail. Lemon laws apply. However, the QC for ET crafts that have to travel light-years throughout the universe would have to be on another level. Panspermia equally far-fetched is still more plausible than ETs building crafts elsewhere in the universe and flying here in a lemon. Everything in real life has an explanation. Fiction is a distortion of real life. The land of make believe.

As you've often mentioned, the tribes are so varied here in America, that even poor people cannot unify among themselves. Like reparations to FBA folks for America's original sin of slavery, there is no incentive to force the redistribution of wealth either. The illusion of a middle class is just enough to keep that populace satiated. Poor white folks are happy with believing they're still better off than non-white people. I believe it will take a natural disaster of epic proportion to reset the order. Otherwise, the system has been fine tuned to the point that a handful of people can control the majority.
